You should be able to click on any individual photo to see it larger. For more B.I. photos check out Stillpoint Photography on F...

On behalf of the boss, who trusted me with the key, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who stopped by the Gallery this weekend as well as throughout the summer. We certainly appreciate your patronage. I do plan on being at the upcoming Christmas Bazaar (I don't know the date yet) with whatever notec...

Oh, the fickle fates of the night skies. Maybe the lights were better on Whiskey Island than here, but given the early fog that not-so-conveniently showed up last night, I have my doubts. At least here there's no need to drive 5-6 hours, or more, as many in Detroit and Chicago were doing yesterday i...

Northern Lights

The lights are coming! Maybe. Could be. Perhaps. It's hit and miss at best. But things are looking very promising for tomorrow (3.28) night from 9pm until early Wed. morning, which is about as good a forecast as there is given all the variables involved. All you need is a dark area with a clear view...

So, are looking to go on an adventure or a safety cruise? Pack some food, a small cook stove and fuel, raise your sails and go. It's not like you're planning a solo trip around the world. Go have some fun. Is there an element of danger? Sure, but that's part of the fun. As for communication, I recei...

Bryan, as it stands now Monday evening looks to be your best bet - clear and calm. While the moon rises late, there's still quite a bit of it visible so that could be an issue. I do some astrophotography and have a few locations that might work for you. You're welcome to call once you've arrived. 21...
